MSNBC reports that a Naval Construction Force barracks in Coronado is going to get a $60 million renovation. Not the interior though, oh no. We’re not going to try to make life better for the men who live in it. No, we’re going to divert that money from other uses because some people looking at satellite photos don’t like that the four buildings that make up the complex remind them of a swastika.

We’re spending it to make cosmetic changes to buildings, to make people feel better about looking at satellite photos. That’s not a problem, I guess, because it’s not like we have a war effort to spend that money on instead, or anything like that.
